Our first girls trip to experience the Irish hospitality and it began here at Snoozles! Though I wish they provided free travel-sized shampoo/conditioner, our staff went above and beyond with accommodations.

Absolutely loved my stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas had a great social vibe. The location was perfect, close to everything but still quiet at night. Met some amazing people and felt right at home. Would definitely stay here again!

professionally run hostel close to city center

This is a professionally run hostel with a nice breakfast room and simple breakfast, a few minutes walk from the city center of Galway. The comfort level was fine for a hostel, and we had no problems. The cost was pretty high, though, as it is similar to what a Bed and Breakfast costs.

Snoozles is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at - it just gets so many things right! Comfortable beds with privacy curtains, light, power socket and USB. Good showers with hooks for hanging items and shower gel provided. And finally a hostel that doesn’t charge or require a deposit for towels - fantastic! There is a nice communal lounge area and outside seating. The kitchen has everything you need. Free tea, coffee and some fruit is available 24/7 which is fantastic, and there are even some free daily afternoon snacks. I have to say a highlight is the free breakfast which is excellent - everything you’d want and good quality produce. The hostel is very clean throughout with everything well-maintained. WiFi is excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful. Note that Snoozles is operated by the same people as Kinlay Hostel, which is also superb. I strongly recommend both hostels.

Super Hostel.

This is a brilliant property almost next to Eyre Square, could not have been more convenient for our stay. The bedrooms were clean and there was a general feel of goodness around the place. However the best , the very best thing about this place is the staff. From reception to kitchen everyone was polite, helpful and totally understanding of our requirements. Would recommend this 11 times out of 10.

This is an epic hostel in an epic location close to Eyre Square. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the place is spotless. Other guests respectful of the quiet times. 24 hour tea and coffee available, Washing machine facilities, an iron and ironing board on each floor. Everything you could need, Snoozles have it. Really modern lounge area and kitchen and a patio out the back complete with snooker and ping pong and a guitar for those who are willing to play a tune. 10/10 would recommend and will be back!
